Th pies fans will pull out the injuries excuses. Never mind that we have been without our best ruckman and our best forward who was diagnosed with cancer. I may add. 

On "The Roar" the pre-game article states our outs are more significant due to their impact on structure.

It also has a bunch of stats that point to the fact that this year our midfield is matching or better than Collingwood's. Yet it's supposed to be 18th vs 1st in the midfield battle isn't it? Well stick that in your spreadsheet Champion Data!

Oh and the stats also prove both our forwards and backs are performing better than Collingwood's too.

 

Neale Daniher is watching today Demons. 

Do it for The Rev and yourselves. 

The Premiership race has never been wider than 2017, get it done

Pumped, conifident, but looking at it Collingwood beat Sydney, and Sydney Beat North and North beat us.

So anything could happen haha.

Poor old Bitter cant make it today and

....................... I have a feeling I'm going to regret it.

I'm tipping a win for the ages. A turning point. A season definer. A march to the finals ............. and any other cliché you care to add.

What your really trying to say is that it will be a jolly good flogging....

One thing we have to do is win the first quarter well. We have had to come from behind in most games and failed to do so in a few of them. Getting behind today with the Pies crowd urging them on and then possible rain, will be a hard ask.

Would love to see a huge Dees win, where we can relax watching and build more percentage.

Can't recall the last time I saw that live.

At work until 4 today. Will try a sneak peak at the score but have to focus on my work (I wish!). Rarely missed the QB game in the past and we have had some good wins in the past 2 years.

I just can't see their forward line kicking enough goals, or their defence being able to hold back Garlett, Petracca, Watts and Co. 

And I hope they totally ignore Gav Brown's son, let him be highlighted by his ineffectiveness and obscurity. 

Ill never forget Watts debut against them, how they tried to intimidate and monster him.......I think the team should say hello.

As this dark day gets ever darker MFCSS gets worse by the moment.

Grant me the next three wins and no injuries and I may snap out of it.

Need a good win today to set us up for the next three rounds. Time to play some seriously good football.

Trying to set record on Foxtel app so I can go back an watch the slide shenanigans later on but I'm getting a "request failed, no available box to record"

Anyone familiar or experiencing the same?

I expect us to be inspired by the presence of Neale Daniher in the rooms before the game. Similar to Jesse firing them up in Adelaide.

Just started drizzling here about 10ks SE of the G

same here 13k east, but short and has stopped


On my way to the G. Train is packed. Skies are grey and the temp is dropping by the min. Can see light rain on train windows.

Gonna be one of those classics today. Can feel it. Hopefully we can actually turn up for the first qtr of our biggest h&a game of the year. Track record at the G has been horrendous this year. Lets turn it around against the filth.

 

Go dees.

I said this before, but BOG today will be Bernie, He loves the big time and has polled well in the last 3 QB. 

Hoping Lewis, who is also not a stranger to the big time, Has a great game. 

 

Go Dees

 

I feel Lewis will rise to the occasion and be BOG.

I'm in the UK, luckily have the day off on Monday so I'll be able to watch it, but I am really struggling to get to sleep. I haven't been this excited about a queens birthday match in a long time. Really wish I was in Melbourne for this one!

Don't think I'll be sleeping too well tonight, probably play the worst case scenarios in my dreams!

Wont all the celebrations in the streets keep you awake? 


36 point win to the dees

My husband has been throwing that around for two weeks. Making excuses - this happens every time we play.

I'm backing track to love the occasion against the pies and get 25 touches and 5 goals 

Mitch hannan and Sam frost to keep up their good form 

dees by 4 points 

Can we please just lead from start to finish and give them a nice touch up, then I can relax all day 

pies have a lot of outs, hopefully the dees do not see themselves as a shoe in as they have so often in the past lost when going in as a favourite. Need to go out there expecting to play a hard match against 22 opposition players all playing for their future. We need to win and win well.

I feel like last season Trac really enjoyed playing his first game against the club he grew up barracking for. Hopefully he plays with the same intensity in his second game against the pies.

Hope Salem and Lewis also really turn it on against their childhood clubs

Lewis, bernie and tracca all out having set shots. Well, snaps anyway.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
